Mainecoons Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Need a 20 meter garden hose, heavy duty rubber is best, the green ones last no time at all. I don't have time to haul into GDL to Costco, is anyone locally selling decent quality hose like the red rubber type? Casa Plomero, Jara, the Riberas Garden center, the hardware store in Chapala, the hardware store in San Antonio, are any of these good bets? Ran a search here, the last time this topic was discussed was 2014 and some of the above were mentioned. Recent experience? Gracias! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syver117 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yes, Costo has a 100ft hose no kink, heavy duty for around 500p. I just saw them 2 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Quote The dark grees ones are next to useless. They kink and crack and don't last very long. Truper makes two that are much better. A lime green one and a red one. The red one is a bit stronger. One has a 6 year warranty the other 5 I think. I've been using the red one for at least 5 years with hot water sometimes and with fairly high pressure. Never a problem with either. They have very solid metal ends also. The Prisa store in Ajijic sells them as do other places including Home Depot. I'm not sure what they are made of. I'm looking at the packing that came with one and it says 6 ply, heavy duty.

ComputerGuy Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 CostCo used to carry a really good rubber hose that was impossible to kink. They replaced it with a heavy-duty hose, which lasts a long time, but is almost as pernicious to handle as the cheap ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonhill Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Prisa has them in the hardware side next to the paint store. I bought the heavy duty red one there a few weeks ago. They have several lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I looking at the wrong time of year? Probably. I found the same thing last year when looking for a quality hose, having purchased them before at CostCo. Even though we don't get snow here, CostCo definitely has its seasons, and I had to wait until early summer before they reappeared. Cynthia Ornelas's webpage shows two hoses available, so Mainecoons wouldn't have to go to Guad himself. BUT both are heavy-duty plastic, not rubber, and again pretty much as difficult to use as the cheap ones... except that they don't kink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ended up getting one at Prisa. Not cheap but the right length and looks to be of better quality than the green ones. The other good advice here was not to leave it out in the sun. Think I'll take that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
